----
!This film contains examples of:

* AbusiveDad: Rebecca's father, "the scariest man who ever lived."
* TheAtoner - Dylan is on parole after spending some time in prison for B+E/robbery.
* BrilliantButLazy: Dylan is described as this -- a very smart guy mixed up with the wrong kind of people.
* BuffySpeak: It's a Creator/JossWhedon movie, all right. In a drunken conversation, Dylan calls himself a "criminal element man-type".
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: A bizarre example, Dylan and Rebecca have actually been present in each other's lives since they were children, with neither one of them knowing the other was a real person until years later.
* ColourCodedCharacters: It's quite subtle, but throughout the film Rebecca is associated with cold tones and Dylan with warm ones, as she lives in snowy New Hampshire, wears monochrome outfits and blue a lot and spends a lot of time in a dark, vaguely blue-ishly lit house, while Dylan lives in the New Mexico desert and wears reds and browns, his house is very warm-toned and even in his darker spaces (the bar, outside in the evening, etc) the light is generally firelight or heavily golden.
* DomesticAbuse: Rebecca's husband, Philip, an emotionally abusive ControlFreak who corrects her constantly, forces her to change clothes, reads her the riot act for having a breakdown, throws out anything that connects her to her past and, in the end, has her medicated and committed to a mental institution when he believes she is cheating on him.
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: Dylan is notably smarter than most of the people around him, leaving him with few meaningful social connections and an obvious dissatisfaction over his lot in life.
* LongDistanceRelationship: An unusual play on the concept, since Rebecca and Dylan have never met in person at all when they become aware of each other, several hundred miles apart.
* MagicalRealism: No attempt is made to explain how the characters' connection is possible.
* MindlinkMates: Dylan and Rebecca become this over time.
* RedOniBlueOni: See ColourCodedCharacters - not a completely straightforward example of this trope, but some elements are present; Dylan (the Red) is an ex-con who occasionally gets into fights in bars and is on the surface more laid-back and easygoing than Rebecca (the Blue), who lives a convention-bound and apparently perfectly serene lifestyle with her doctor husband and bottles up all her negative emotions.
* SmugSnake: Philip, who is far too sure of himself and his brilliance.
* {{Synchronization}}: The main premise of the movie.
